The phenomenon of high-functioning alcohol use disorder. Attorney Min-cheol, who is recognized at work, is on his way home from work. He is holding two bottles of makgeolli in his hand. After returning home and putting the child to bed, he plays games with two bottles of makgeolli, which is Min-cheol’s ‘small happiness’. Depending on the dinner menu, he sometimes drinks beer or mixes it with soju, but it has never interfered with his work or daily life. Even when his wife, who is worried about his health, advises him to cut down on drinking, Min-cheol consistently pretends not to know. The only thing he does not compromise on, despite his diligent work on raising children and housework, is alcohol. Is Min-cheol, who looks young and healthy, a drinker or an alcoholic? “He is called a highly adaptive alcoholic because he performs his social role well and does not engage in violent behavior or verbal abuse. In the case of my patients, there are countless cases where a doctor becomes a high-ranking professor and then becomes hospitalized due to alcoholism, or a corporate executive becomes hospitalized due to alcoholism that becomes too severe after retirement.” Ha Jong-eun / Psychiatry specialist - Copyright ⓒ KBS.
